Tonight is chicken. This is a delicious meal, although not my favorite way to have chicken and rice. That one can come later.
1/2 chicken
5 cups water
1/2 c. almonds (blanched)
1/4 c. pine nuts
3 T. butter
2 c. rice (soaked for 30 min)
3 c. chicken broth
1 1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
cinnamon
Cook chicken in the water until tender. Remove from liquid, debone and set aside. Save liquid.
Place almonds, pine nuts, and butter in a saucepan. Turn heat to low. Stir, browning the nuts to a golden color. Drain rice and add to the nuts. Stir on low heat for 1 minute. Add chicken pieces, broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to boil on high heat, lower heat, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Serve on a platter with a sprinkle of cinnamon over top.
Sahtayn!
